VAGINAL SYRlNGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 655,540, dated August7, 1900.

Application filed September 22, 1899. Serial No. 731,294. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern/.-

Be it known that I, ANTON ARLT, a subject of the Emperor ofAustria-Hungary, residing at Bad Sommerstein, near Saalfeld, Germany,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vagina-Pipes; and Ido hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to vaginal-syringe nozzles, and comprises animproved arrangement which, as compared with other wellknown devices ofthe same class, possesses the advantages of being easily handled andenabling the vagina to be completely closed by means of a taper orfunnel shaped plug, so that the irrigatingliquid may be kept therein forany desired length of time. A further important advantage is gained bythe peculiar form of the syringe, whereby injury to the womb is entirelyprecluded. This device, with or without a rose-head, is exceedinglyconvenient in use.

A vaginal syringe made according'to my said invention is represented inthe accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 shows an elevation, Fig. 2 alongitudinal section, and Fig. 3 a transverse section, of the same.

This vaginal syringe possesses a taper or funnel shaped plug (0,preferably consisting of hard rubber, and which, as shown in Figs. 2 and3, may be made hollow. In the center of this taper or funnel shaped pluga I provide the tubular member 1), serving for the passage of theirrigating liquid and made in one piece with the plug, the said pipeterminating above in a cap 0 and below in a rosehead 61. This syringemay be employed either with or without the rose-head, which latterserves for weakening the jet and enables the liquid to irrigate allparts of the vagina.

For facilitating the closing of the vagina through the medium of thefunnel-shaped plug this plug is furnished with a nose or bulge 6.

Having now particularly described and as certained the nature of my saidinvention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare thatwhat I claim is A two-piece vaginal-syringe nozzle comprising a centraltubular member or conduit b having a valved member at its outer end andhaving its walls extended and tapered to form a hollow truncated base a,said base having one of its faces slightly thickened and having itslower portion extended below the mouth of the tube 12 to form a socket;and a removable apertured member cl adapted to be received in saidsocket, and conforming to the contour of the member a, substantially asshown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ANTON ARLT.
